The "J1.5" namespace is an archived namespace. This page contains information for a Joomla! version which is no longer supported. It exists only as a historical reference, it will not be improved and its content may be incomplete and/or contain broken links.
Creating a copy of the MilkyWay template allows you to experiment with it without compromising the original.
- make a copy of the rhuk_milkyway folder and rename it
- edit templateDetails.xml to add your own details, remove the links to non existing files
